A park where you can see submarines up close, which is rare in the world

Submarines and escort ships belonging to the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's Kure Base are anchored in Kure Bay, which spreads out before you, and you can also see the old torpedo lifting and lowering cranes up close. The surrounding area has a retro atmosphere with rows of brick buildings from the former naval arsenal, and the battleship Yamato was built in secrecy in a nearby dock. The name "Alley Karasukojima" comes from the name of a small island called "Karasukojima" (30-40m in circumference) in Kure Bay (filled in as a torpedo launching training ground during the Taisho era) and the English word "alley". Why not take a leisurely stroll through the alley (alley) surrounded by greenery and brick colors? If you go at sunrise or sunset, you can see the national flags of each ship and the Self-Defense Force flag being raised and lowered.
